Marooners’ Rock Game of the Year Picks 2014
With 2014 coming to an end we at Marooners’ Rock have gone through a lot of games this year. While some provided a lot of replay value and others were good for a short time we’ve had to sit down together and pick our own personal titles that we think are GOTY (Game of the Year) for each system. This year we’ve spoken with each other and listed categories for each device we own.

The Most Terrifying Game I Ever Played
The year was 2006. Barry Bonds broke the home run record with 715. The Winter Olympics were going on, and Italy won the World Cup by beating France. It was a simpler time. It was also the year I played one of the most terrifying and formative video games I have ever come across. It was a game almost no one else played, having only 150,000 or so copies published in the US. That game was Rule of Ros...[Read More]
It’s Time To Fix “GamerGate,” And Save Our Culture While We Do.
It’s been a long time since I’ve sat down to write anything involving video games. Some of it has been my job, which requires me to write blogs all day, assuring that writing is the last thing I want to do when I get home. Some of it has been my forced exodus from the industry due to personal matters. Life happens and all that. However, there is another reason I stopped not only writing, but stopp...[Read More]

In the review, I answered “Mostly,” and that’s better than many attempts have been. As with Lord o...[Read More]
Is Fish Plays Pokemon the new Twitch Plays Pokemon?
As someone who’s taken part of the Twitch Plays Pokemon fad, I’ve enjoyed any and all streams that use the feature. Recently, the collective was able to beat Pokemon X. However, last night while me and friends (other twitch casters) were talking away on Team Speak about future games we’d be casting along with normal everyday life topics. At one point one informed of us of a nice ...[Read More]
